'''Legacy:''' The "still the one" slogan and three-note fanfare introduced in this ident would become key parts of Nine's branding for decades to come. The slogan was used for 27 years until it was retired in 2006, despite brief disappearances, the jingle survived even the dropping of "Still the One" and was in use as late as 2017, close to 40 years after it was initially introduced.

'''Legacy:''' This ident is heavily associated with one particular incident where a special called ''Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos'' was pulled off air mid-broadcast at the demand of the station's then-owner Kerry Packer who famously made an irate phone call to the station upon seeing the special on his TV while he was at home eating dinner, ordering them to "Get that s**t off the air!" in those precise words. The clip of this ident appearing immediately after the show was pulled with a "technical difficulties" announcement delivered over it leading into a rerun of ''Cheers'' was the one of the most infamous moments in Australian television history.

WIN variants of "Urban", "Sport" and "Entertainment" have survived on YouTube in 4:3 recordings, however their original Nine-branded counterparts are much more difficult to find, let alone any copy at all in widescreen.

'''Legacy:''' These would be the last IDs to use the "Still the One" slogan after 27 years. It would be used one final time in a 2006 promo for the rebrand in which the original "Still The One" song was performed by Nine personalities. They would also be the last to feature the original 9 logo after 44 years. The long standing jingle would also be retired, though it would return without the slogan with the 2009 "Welcome Home" package.
